Chicago Rescue Pup to Participate in Puppy Bowl 2025
About the Puppy Bowl
Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl XVI returns for its 21st year on February 9, with 142 adorable, adoptable puppies from 80 shelters and rescues across 40 states. The dogs are placed on one of two teams – Team Ruff or Team Fluff – in hopes of winning the coveted “Lombarky” trophy.
Meet Boone, the Chicago Rescue Pup
Of the 142 rescue puppies, one has ties to the Chicago area, according to local animal rescue One Tail at a Time. Boone, a Miniature Schnauzer, came to the Chicago-based animal rescue from a shelter in Texas. Boone then went into a foster home that cared for him while he got “adoption ready.”
Boone’s Journey
After getting adoption ready, Boone was adopted by a family and now spends his days romping around with other dogs and snoozing on his sofa. “He is one lucky (and famous) little pup,” OTAT said in a release.
